January 10, 2007--Dormant Yuma Desalting Plant to Get Restart (Tucson Citizen)
A $250 million deslating plant west of Yuma that has sat dormant since shortly after it was completed in the early 1990's is set to restart for a test run by June. The plant was built to reduce salt in agriculture runoff to help meet a water delivery treaty obligation with Mexico, but ran for only a six-month test in 1992-93. Since then, the U.S. has been able to meet its obligations because of high Colorado River flows that diluted the salt. The ongoing drought in the West and increased water demand because of growth now require the plant to be ready to operate.
